Community, Crime and Disorder

Based on original research, this text attempts to fill a number of gaps in the "community and crime" literature and make important theoretical contributions. Questions explored include: How do changes in the urban environment impact upon local (high crime) communities?; How do changes in housing provision and consumption influence crime patterning?; Can current community safety and urban policies address the needs of high crime, mixed tenure, inner city areas?; and How do community groups respond to neighbourhood change, crime and disorder?
